Dear Chess Enthusiasts!

We are happy and proud to deliver our “baby” – a revolutionary program that annotates your games like a human instructor, with the precision of a machine. We have been working on this project for several years in the hope of creating something we could only have dreamed about before.

We are delighted you can join us in this chess adventure. There is still a lot to be done! Please help us make this program even better:

We want to create new features such as long-term strategic play plans, endgame knowledge etc… and we need your support to make this happen.

Be part of this ongoing computerized chess revolution. We are proud that we can use cutting edge Cognitive Computing algorithms to provide you with automated explanations and we need your help to make this reality even bigger.

Sincerely Yours

To sum up, current chess analytic tools are limited to the technology of chess engines: they can tell what the best move(s) are and what their evaluation is. This can be wrapped up with human words like inaccuracy or blunder but not much more. One can squeeze out some chess concepts from the engines’ evaluation function. However, this is an inadequate alternative as the chess engines evaluation function is inaccurate and falls far beyond even an average human chess player understanding.

In contrast, DecodeChess is the first to tackle the AI problem of how human chess thinking is done and to mimic it by a computer program. It creates a model of chess player thinking which is backed by the accuracy and enormous search power of the computer. This enables DecodeChess to reveal the underlying chess thinking behind the plain moves. The result is an explanation affluent with chess ideas that are demonstrated by concrete examples.

PRAISE

I enjoy the insights Decode Chess supplies, especially on the complex mid-game positions. Although I’m not a very strong player (yet) I appreciate the depth and explanations that Decode Chess provides. I highly recommend this app.
